Ask for one on the right hand side, since you then can see the mountains as soon as you step out of your door.

For the boat trip I agree with Vuittons: Take the afternoon tour - it's magic!

I agree with everyone's recommendation of the afternoon Mekong Cruise. We spent a lot of time on property, as it was sheer heaven there, and Luang Prabang itself was quite touristy so beyond seeing a few temples and bicycling around, it was nice just to be at Amantaka. Their cooking classes out at their organic farm sounded really great, as did their excursion focused on the endangered bears.

You are going to have a wonderful experience. Enjoy!
